Perfumed charcoal stick. Marked "Highly Perfumed" on the side of the box. There is a sweet floral scent on the stick, mainly rose - it's like a sugary Turkish delight. Quite fresh and charming.
The scent on the burn is quietly restrained, gently diffusing a soft smoky floral fragrance around the room. Over time I settle into it. I find it modest but appealing. I've looked back at other incenses I've had with the Darshan name. With pretty much all of them I note a delicate floral character, supported by a pale sandalwood base. The exceptions are those which tend to be musky rather than floral, though I might have missed the floral notes. The general sense of "darshan" is like catching a glimpse of a god or someone sacred. And it seems that incense makers convey this through delicate floral (rose) notes above a soft, subtle sandalwood. I think that has been modestly achieved here. I have grown to like this Darshan by Vinasons.
